They want Trump to win because long term that's what helps them. They are not even trying to hide its one-sidedness at this point. They got Trump elected before and they are trying to do it again, with a lot of help from extremely wealthy owners. They'll help democracy burn for share price. Media has become no different than anyone else with too much money and influence.
They can stage fake WWF battles while actually helping each other profit!
It's up to us now to fight back with our numbers. VOTE!
I can't wait to celebrate Harris victory wearing this Totally Unhinged Radical Liberal shirt on November 5th in front of all Trumpers 👇 🤣
Concerning point 10: it is not only about the autonomy of women. Intervention about reproductive rights is an insult to a class of medical professionals. They help women in need to find the best solutions. Trump says they are executing babies.
Who are they? Who is executing? It is not only about women, it is about gruesome insults for an ethical and professional class doing their work. Caregivers, unite...

I can add one more - it was trump who shut down international flights with no warning about March 15, 2020. That action sent the economy and our society into a shock and tail spin.
It was Bernie Sanders that pushed for the gig workers to get unemployment. Please Dems - don't forget that ;)
I'm afraid so Mike. Took me too long to realize that not only could Trump shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it, but that his diehard supporters would love him for it in their misdirected resentments. No doubt I did not want to believe that of many people. I am not saying that is true of all his supporters, but true of too many.
Reminds me a bit of the Declaration of Independence, and its list of indictments against King George III. What more is needed to see that the very office of President was bound to regress to that of the King? And you thought Nixon was bad?
We need a SCOTUS majority to remember that the Founders’ principal idea was that no person, not even the President, was above the law. They dumped 234 years of constitutional precedent in U.S. v. Trump.
Remember, it was the King/President Trump who gave us this awful SCOTUS.
The fundamental problem with the Constitution is the retention of the King, renamed the President but King nonetheless. George Mason argued strongly against the office of President, precisely because the office, with precisely the same kingly powers as George III, bore too close a resemblance.
Madison's insistence on keeping it was one of the reasons Mason refused to sign.
Just a heads up on parliamentary democracy: Canada's PM was elected by 20.4% (those are party wide numbers) of the voting public and straight up lost the popular vote. Currently, about 72% of the voting public want Trudeau to step down so the Liberals can chose a new leader. Instead, we're stuck with the jerk telling us how good he is for us (he isn't) until an election gets called... You're not going to like parliamentary democracy very much either.
Trudeau will be gone in a year, along with most of the Liberal Party. Parliamentary democracy may not be perfect, but it is surely better than a demented King.
We need to get this factual information out to everyone all week leading up to the election! Thank you Professor Reich for doing your part to save our Democracy.
Thanks, Professor Reich for these 101 Damnatians. It’s an interesting mix of con artistry, blatant disregard for the Office or the constitution, unrestrained hatred and division, and a heaping dose of ineptitude. Whenever possible, the top priority was always self interest and greed.
At least we now have a pretty good idea of what we need to protect ourselves from in the future.
Professor Reich: thank you for the timely reminder of the literal HELL that i and so many others experienced during Trump's four years in office. as i read your list, i recall the many nights where i was unable to sleep due to my almost-nightly anxiety attacks, i recall the terror i felt when trump declared his war on the environment and proclaimed that climate change was a hoax, and i recall being outraged about his selling national secrets and embarrassed when he did so many stupid things in front of world leaders. (buying greenland? i thought that was a joke at first, but ... no!)
GirlScientist, I to remember those years filled with constant anxiety. Only the lucid, informative writing of dedicated Americans like Robert Reich, Heather Cox Richardson, Robert Hubbell, Joyce Vance, Simon Rosenberg, Timothy Snyder help keep so many of us sane and action-oriented to fight. I am so deeply grateful for them. When the history of this time gets written, THEY will be revealed to be the true Fourth Estate.
His insanity and cruelty has grown exponentially it seems, since his term in office. Last night at a sit down with Tucker Carlson, he said Liz Cheney is a war hawk and asked how she would like it if nine rifles were pointing at her face. (I assume he was referring to a firing squad.) Even I'm appalled he would paint such a horrific picture, knowing some of his crazy, violent followers may act on his words.
I wish for the safety of my fellow citizen, Liz Cheney, and her family. Please DOJ take action.
"Trump wasn’t charged for criminal obstruction because it’s the Justice Department’s policy not to indict a sitting president" How and when did the Justice Department , of all things, create a "policy" to ignore Justice? It was a human who came up with this ; Who was it? why was this allowed? I can see how frivolous suits could hamper a President. But having a policy to not even investigate or indict a president's clear wrongdoing has nothing to do with justice. "nobody is above the law" What an effing lie!
Sadly, his obscenely wealthy supporters can afford to spend huge sums to buy campaign ads and various seats in government, putting the majority of US into a kind of poll tax situation, which is against the law. for what that is worth these days.
If deranged #45 is elected again, we are all but certain to have a kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/) : a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
Thank you Prof. Reich for reminding us in unsettling detail of the hateful and insidious acts of this buffoon who we've come to despise for his insincerity, his lack of empathy, compassion, intelligence, and his insolent, anarchic, uncontrolled, and malignant narcissism and misogyny, all of which had already been documented in the New York Times 360-page bestseller from 2017: "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President." Please note the word "Dangerous." The book was compiled by Bandy Lee, M.D., organizer of the "Yale Duty to Warn Conference" in 2017.
Trump participated in a Presidential debate without taking a Covid test as he agreed to do beforehand. Trump was hospitalized almost immediately after with Covid.
Thank you, Professor Reich, for having the patience to compile this list. We could not see the back of this evil bigot soon enough.
On Hallows Eve, Trump asked his people to execute his political enemies.

Where’s the mainstream media outrage?
They don't want to report on it because they are afraid they will lose their access to Trump.
Personally, I don't want access to the lying mofo.
They want Trump to win because long term that's what helps them. They are not even trying to hide its one-sidedness at this point. They got Trump elected before and they are trying to do it again, with a lot of help from extremely wealthy owners. They'll help democracy burn for share price.

So horrible and frightening. Yet a perfect example of just how dangerous this man is.
They're afraid of him...or rather, their owners are in bed with him? Bezos, Murdoch,,,
🤬🤬🤬

❤Reich❤:"pandemic response led to hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. "
338',000 was one scholarly estimate of the number saved if the US had an NHS.UK.
In 2022 16.6 million Americans wanted to die... an uptrend resulting in "Most Americans wanting to suicide in the next 10 years."...?
Depression can be prevented by science such as

....but if we do nothing, up to 50% are cured by placebo such as MAGA.
Grieving, similar to placebo, can happen in unscientific ways such as MAGA.
The best predictor of whether or not a county voted for Trump was Deaths of Despair.

This sounds like Satan’s worksheet that has come to life! Trump and Hate are synonymous.
Trump supporter after reading this list: “Best president ever”!
"but her emails" ... "but his laptop" ... "but her laugh" ... same ol song. 🥱
Mike Hammer - best comment ever.
What can you possibly like about Trump? You must like a dictator over our democracy.
I'm afraid so Mike. Took me too long to realize that not only could Trump shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it, but that his diehard supporters would love him for it in their misdirected resentments. No doubt I did not want to believe that of many people. I am not saying that is true of all his supporters, but true of too many.
True...I heard it .

The US needs parliamentary democracy.
We need a SCOTUS majority to remember that the Founders’ principal idea was that no person, not even the President, was above the law. They dumped 234 years of constitutional precedent in U.S. v. Trump.
They need to be impeached!
Remember, it was the King/President Trump who gave us this awful SCOTUS.
The fundamental problem with the Constitution is the retention of the King, renamed the President but King nonetheless. George Mason argued strongly against the office of President, precisely because the office, with precisely the same kingly powers as George III, bore too close a resemblance.

Corrupt to their very essence.

Most of that list is not factual.
Oh do be specific .
Or go away
Start with comments on Fox websites. Social media. Every Fox talking head has social media.
Thanks, Professor Reich for these 101 Damnatians. It’s an interesting mix of con artistry, blatant disregard for the Office or the constitution, unrestrained hatred and division, and a heaping dose of ineptitude. Whenever possible, the top priority was always self interest and greed.

101 Damnations! Good movie title reference!
"101 Damnations" is spot-on. The Trumpster is the male version of Cruella Deville.
Cruella DeDon
And malevolent pettiness!
Loved "101 Damnations"! Made my night, TBH.
Cheering you all on from Australia!

Collaboration with Putin comes to mind, stealing & most likely selling top secret documents …
Yet with all of this he’s still allowed to run for POTUS, what am I missing???
DOJ has failed miserably. He should have been arrested on 1/6 or at least 1/20 1 minute after Joe Biden was inaugurated.
His insanity and cruelty has grown exponentially it seems, since his term in office. Last night at a sit down with Tucker Carlson, he said Liz Cheney is a war hawk and asked how she would like it if nine rifles were pointing at her face. (I assume he was referring to a firing squad.)

Garland is worthless & weak. He needs to be replaced with a spine.
I agree.
"Trump wasn’t charged for criminal obstruction because it’s the Justice Department’s policy not to indict a sitting president" How and when did the Justice Department , of all things, create a "policy" to ignore Justice?

But having a policy to not even investigate or indict a president's clear wrongdoing has nothing to do with justice. "nobody is above the law" What an effing lie!
Laurie Blair, I strongly agree with you. It seems like, it is more of a "brush it under the rug" policy.
Definitely
Sadly, his obscenely wealthy supporters can afford to spend huge sums to buy campaign ads and various seats in government, putting the majority of US into a kind of poll tax situation, which is against the law. for what that is worth these days.
Citizens United needs to go!
If only!
Worst. President. Ever.
If deranged #45 is elected again, we are all but certain to have a kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/) : a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
An exhaustive list…and exhausting to recall.
Agreed. What a tiresome pile of shit the Trump years have accumulated.
So again I ask why is he even been allowed to run again?
The simplest answer is: "because Joe Biden is president."
Thank you Prof. Reich for reminding us in unsettling detail of the hateful and insidious acts of this buffoon who we've come to despise for his insincerity, his lack of empathy, compassion, intelligence, and his insolent, anarchic, uncontrolled, and malignant narcissism and misogyny, all of which had already been documented in the New York Times 360-page bestseller from 2017: "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President." Please note the word "Dangerous." The book was compiled by Bandy Lee, M.D., organizer of the "Yale Duty to Warn Conference" in 2017.
For sure. Trump is mentally ill. Completely unfit to be president.
(I don't need a list of reasons. Mentally ill people will keep doing the things that add to the list.)
She has gone on to host a recent conference at the National Press Club documenting his mental disease, and quite a bit more about his psychopathy.
Trump participated in a Presidential debate without taking a Covid test as he agreed to do beforehand. Trump was hospitalized almost immediately after with Covid.
If you can read this without being terrified you may be part of the problem.
Exactly!
